CPU

Central processing unit Computers The hardware that comprises the 'thinking' part of a computer; the simple-minded often equate the CPU to all the electronic circuitry in the box containing the hard and floppy drives. See Computer.

Given the 40,000 logic blocks inside an FPGA, this yields a peak processing capability of 2 trillion tasks per second--more than 600 times as many as today's fastest CPUs are capable of achieving (as of this writing, Intel's fastest microprocessor rated 3.

Our mission is to supply state of the art, compatible technology solving obsolescence, power, size, weight and performance problems which continue to plague consumers of high performance embedded computing," said Ed King, founder and CEO of CPU Tech.

Predictions such as this, together with the rapid increase in adopters of configurable CPU technology, are some of the reasons why configurability is widely considered to be the SoC design methodology for the 21st century.
